Abstract
The concluding chapter of the book, “Rethinking Climate and Energy Policies–New Perspectives on the Rebound Phenomenon” sums up the main findings from all of the volumes chapters, suggests that rebound research should enter a new phase of trans- und interdisciplinary research (as opposed to mainly economic rebound research from the past), and argues that sustainability politics will only be successful if the various forms of rebound effects are taken into account and are contained by appropriate policies and measures.
